Ledger Talks Joker

Oscar nominated actor Heath Ledger has gone on-camera to talk about playing The Joker in director Christopher Nolan's forthcoming Bat-sequel, The Dark Knight.

In a videotaped interview with Allocine.fr, Ledger said, "The Joker, so far, is definitely the most fun I've had with any character. He's just out of control. He has no empathy. He's a sociopath, psychotic, mass-murdering clown. And I'm just thoroughly, thoroughly enjoying it. It's exceeded any expectations I've had in terms of what the experience would be like. So it will be interesting."

In other Bat-news, IESB.net claims that Oscar nominee Ryan Gosling (Fracture) is rumored to be Warner Bros.' first choice to play Batman in their planned live-action Justice League of America movie.

The site adds, however, that it cannot confirm this and that they don't know if Gosling has been approached or is even interested. That said, he is reportedly the studio's favorite to don the cowl in the superhero team-up flick.
